Parental Failure? Childhood Genius? Both?

True story: My not-yet-two year old daughter successfully purchased a Spongebob Squarepants movie off of Amazon. We found out when an order confirmation was emailed to us.Random thoughts:1. make the password harder 2. maybe check on her more often when she's quiet3. don't believe any child who says they're using the computer for school without serious evidence or their statement that the computer is off4. turn off "one-click ordering"5. chastise her for bad taste

Now, I know from the highest levels of the Church that my readership is filled with judgemental people. But I ask you, please just accompany me and be present with me during this time. Thank you.

Dummy me let son browse Amazon around B-Day or Christmas last year. I get back to my PC and got an order confirmation for an "aperture handheld portal device". Such objects, formerly a cheap video game toy for $20 or so are now worth $300 on Amazon. We canceled that STAT!

Yes, parental failure on our part. Do NOT trust the kids. We still haven't told them the passwords for PCs they use.

A Day That Will Live in Glory

Pray for the Four Cardinals: Burke, Caffarra, Meiser and Brandmuller

“You are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your Faith, who hold firmly to the foundations of the Faith which has come down to you from Apostolic Tradition. And if an execrable jealousy has tried to shake it on a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from it in the present crisis. No one, ever, will prevail against your Faith, beloved Brothers. And we believe that God will give us our churches back some day."
